This year Girls on the Run Philadelphia is celebrating its 10-Year Anniversary! In celebration of this milestone, it is my goal to raise $5,000 between now and the end of our program year. Since its inception in 2013, our organization has changed the lives of over 5,000 girls in the City of Philadelphia, with the majority of those girls participating through scholarship support. Funds raised through my campaign will help the most vulnerable girls in my community develop critical life skills that will support life-long physical and emotional well-being.
This November I'm running the Philadelphia Half Marathon in honor of the 5,000 girls served through Girls on the Run Philadelphia! It has been a gift to give back to my adopted city in my role as the organization's executive director and I can't imagine a better way to kick off my campaign than by challenging myself physically and emotionally in the same way the girls in our program do during the 10-week program.
I hope you'll consider making a contribution in honor of our girls, ensuring that every girl in Philadelphia has the opportunity to experience the magic of Girls on the Run!
